Bill Caption

Relating to an optional county fee on vehicle registration to be used by a regional mobility authority.

Fiscal Notes

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

Bill Analysis

This bill would allow certain counties along the southern border to impose an optional county fee for vehicle registration not to exceed $20 if approved by voters at a referendum. This fee would fund a regional mobility authority. 

Vote Recommendation Notes

Texas Action opposes HB 333 for violating the principles of limited government and individual liberty.  Texans are already nickel-and-dimed by fees and assessments without needing to worry about adding new additional fees.
